As one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women, breast cancer accounts for a 30% increase of incidence worldwide since 1970s. Recently, increasing studies have revealed that the long non-coding RNA ILF3-AS1 is involved in the progression of various cancers. Nevertheless, the role of ILF3-AS1 in breast cancer remains largely unknown. In the present study, we found that ILF3-AS1 was highly expressed in breast cancer tissues and cells. ILF3-AS1 silencing inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoted cell apoptosis. ILF3-AS1 bound with miR-4429 in breast cancer cells. Moreover, RAB14 was a downstream target of miR-4429, and miR-4429 expression was negatively correlated with RAB14 or ILF3-AS1 expression in breast cancer tissues. The result of rescue experiments demonstrated that overexpression of RAB14 can reverse the inhibitory effect of ILF3-AS1 knockdown on breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Overall, ILF3-AS1 promotes the malignant phenotypes of breast cancer cells by interacting with miR-4429 to regulate RAB14, which might offer a new insight into the underlying mechanism of breast cancer.

Background: Long non-coding RNAs play crucial roles in various biological activities and diseases. The role of long intergenic non-coding RNA01638 (linc01638) in breast cancer, especially in HER2-positive breast cancer, remains largely unknown. Objective: To investigate the effect of linc01638 on tumorigenesis in HER2-positive breast cancer. </P><P> Methods: We first used qRT-PCR to detect linc01638 expression in HER2-positive breast cancer cells and tissues. Then we analyzed the effects of linc01638 expression in HER2-positive breast cancer cells through cell apoptosis assay, cell proliferation assay, colony formation assay, and cell invasion assay. We conducted mouse xenograft model to further confirm the role of linc01638 in HER2-positive breast cancer. Moreover, we used Western blot and IHC analysis to access the effect of linc01638 on DNMTs, BRCA1 and PTEN expressions in transplanted tumors. Results: Linc01638 was found to be remarkably overexpressed in HER2-positive breast cancer cells and tissues. Suppression of linc01638 enhanced cell apoptosis, as well as inhibited the growth and invasiveness of HER2-positive breast cancer cells in vitro and tumor progression and metastasis in vivo. Furthermore, inhibition of linc01638 by shRNA attenuated expression of DNMT1, DNMT3a, and DNMT3b, and promoted expression of BRCA1 and PTEN in HER2-positive breast cancer cells and mouse xenograft models. Linc01638 might be a promising biomarker and therapeutic target for treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer.
